• SQL Server matching inbound and outbound messages

  When you begin a dialog, you do so between source and target. A conversation is begun on both source and target, and messages flow between the two. What would cause messages to build up on the source in sys.transmission_queue and not get transmitted to the target, with no error in the transmission_status column of sys.transmission_queues The dialogs on the source have a state of 'co', indicating that messages should be flowing....

• Visual Studio Missing Icons and Bad Links in MSDN

When an undo is requested, I query the command for the previous value and place this back into the Value field of the control. Now this then triggers a ValueChanged event which puts a command in the undo list -- not what I want! I can avoid this by setting a flag to say "don't add commands w ...Show All
